♦ You should inform safariLIVE of what your class is studying, we don’t follow curriculums but we can appropriately contextualise the answers to your class’ questions.

♦ safariLIVE is an engaging experience when it is fully interactive – you should encourage questions constantly, and they should be based on what is seen on screen so our guides can easily interact with your class.

♦ We recommend that first-time participants watch previous safaris to see what can be expected. Then you can also test the Youtube viewing permissions of your school’s network security.

♦ In return for your School Session, we encourage you to send us thank-you videos, pictures, drawings or letters, from the class.
